Vancouver House at 1480 Howe Street, Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1R8. Vancouver House is a mixed-use tower by Westbank, DIALOG and Bjarke Ingels Group Architects (BIG). This property is next to the Granville Street Bridge in downtown Vancouver, with 388 residential units occupying the 59-storey tower, which is the citys fourth tallest building. The tower is situated on a nine-storey podium base offering market-rental housing with a mix of commercial and retail space including a grocery store. A 30-metre setback from the Granville bridge ensures that no residents will have windows and balconies in the middle of heavy traffic as well as concerns for sunlight to an adjacent park which limits how far south the building can be constructed. As a result the footprint is restricted to a small triangle. The tower's podium is a mixed-use urban village composed of intimately-scaled spaces for working, shopping, and leisure which face onto public plazas and pathways. The additional public space adds to the existing streets, giving the neighborhood a variety of open and covered outdoor spaces of various scales which transform the site under the Granville Bridge into a dynamic and iconic mixed-use neighborhood hub. Some of the building features include; 24 hour Concierge, 5 elevators which are supposed to be the fastest residential elevators in North America, 8th floor outdoor covered pool with huge open landscaped terrace for owners to use, 10,000 sf Gym facility that has a separate entrance at 1408 Howe, Golf Simulator that is located on P3 level and The Flying Fazioli Piano, a truly remarkable piece of design, that was exclusively produced for the Vancouver House and is located in the Mezzanine Lobby level Most suites at Vancouver House have standard 6X6X6 lockers + some suites have bicycle lockers. Pets are OK, Rentals restricted min 30 days (No short term rentals allowed like AirBnB or VRBO) Bbqs allowed on Balconies
